No Games Available in Online Race

Hello Everyone,

Posting again here since my first post in Bug Reports / Problems has been soundly ignored so far. The title says it all, I go to Online Race in the rFactor 2 Beta and all I get is No Games Available. What gives? Are there simply no servers running for the Beta yet? If it's just me, how can I approach troubleshooting the problem?

There's lots of servers running, but you're not giving any information which would help solve the problem. The build you're using, the version of Windows, whether you've been able to ever see races, whether you have LAN checked or unchecked in there, whether you have the filters selected, etc.

rFactor:
Current Build Version: 69 rFactor 2 Version Contained in this Build: 1.042

I am doing nothing in the Online Race screen (e.g. LAN is unchecked, as is Filters), I launch Online Race and the list comes up with No Games Available after a second or so of "Retrieving List". Just like for Darius, this is unchanged behaviour from Build 60 (Build 60 was the first version of rFactor 2 beta I tried). The current install of Build 69 here is 'clean' - I deleted both the old installation and my player profile and installed from the new Build 69 installer.

Since you seem stuck for available options. Let me throw a possible suggestion.

The matchmaker connects through port 443. So this could mean its a problem with your local TLS/SSL settings.
Just to make sure, do you get an Successful SSL Connection on this website?
Does it state that "HTTPS (HTTP Over TLS/SSL)" is On?

Check your TLS/SSL settings.
I'm not sure if and how rF2 uses these protocols but you have to at least tell windows to use them, and point to the proper version.
Goto Control Panel/Internet Explorer - Tools -> Internet Options -> Tab Advanced
Scroll down almost to the bottom, under "Security".
Make sure you have checked the box on "Use TLS 1.0". (I have listed versions 1.0-1.2)

When I uncheck any of these boxes or use a different TLS version I get the "No Games Available" message in the matchmaker list!

Always click apply and restart rF2 before checking.

Since this setting seems so close related to your problems it probably is worth trying.
As I could recreate (a similar) problem pretty fast, I really think this connection/security issue is the root of your problems.

I enabled the Windows CAPI2 Operations log, but no clues in there either.

Also tried enabling the rFactor trace log (apparently still works in rF2), but it looks like the matchmaking code isn't instrumented yet, there are no networking related messages in there whatsoever (this is the log from me launching Online Race, getting No Games Available and exiting Online Race again):

Lately seen this also with RF1 when joining online, it doesn't list any online servers even when trying to refresh.
Only after i release my ip address and renew it to a new one it again starts to show servers.
